Nintendo of America Boss Says VR Isn't Fun

Social = fun.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime doesn't appear to be a fan of virtual reality, going so far as to say it isn't fun.

In an interview with Polygon at E3, the Nintendo exec highlighted the importance of preserving gaming's social element, something a VR headset removes entirely.

"What we believe is that, in order for this technology to move forward, you need to make it fun and you need to make it social," Fils-Aime explained. "I haven't walked the floor, so I can't say in terms of what's on the floor today, but at least based on what I've seen to date, it's not fun, and it's not social. It's just tech."
